How to detect when a user reloads a webpage? (unload event)

How can we help?

Is it possible to detect when the webpage is reloaded? It's in a sandboxed iFrame, but it doesn't properly send unload events, so it never automatically releases memory. I'm looking for a way to do that manually.

You know the webpage was reloaded every time the code gets run.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <metacharset="utf-8">
    <title>New webpage</title>
  </head>
  <body>

  <script>
    console.log("The webpage was reloaded!");
  </script>

  </body>
</html>

Hi Himum!

Thank you, this certainly works for certain cases. Unfortunately, I was looking for a way to run code upon an unload event (to release GPU memory that was not being released automatically), not run code when the program first starts.
